Techniques of Job Analysis

This document summarizes different methods for conducting job analysis interviews and questionnaires. It describes the critical incident method which asks job holders to describe past experiences. It also discusses directly performing the job to gain first-hand experience. Quantitative methods are then outlined, including the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) which collects quantifiable data on duties and responsibilities. The US Department of Labor method uses standard worker functions to describe how a worker interacts with data, people, and objects. Functional Job Analysis similarly rates jobs based on required abilities like instructions, reasoning, and verbal skills.
